Abstract

Today, business processes carried out within the framework of sustainable policies have become a strategic tool for businesses to gain competitive advantage. In this context, we see how important sustainability is for the functions of a business. Innovations such as social responsibility, environmental awareness, climate change, etc. brought by social, economic and environmental transformation processes are among the most important factors that bring the concept of sustainability to the forefront. In supply chain management, businesses need to follow sustainable policies in order to create value for the customer and to establish long-term strategic relationships among the stakeholders of the chain. It is possible to say that the buyer-supplier relations built on the perception of sustainability in supply chain management also increase the performance of the long-term strategy plans of the businesses. All these situations have led to an increase in studies on sustainability. In this context, the main purpose of the study is to examine the theoretical framework of sustainable supply chain management and the studies carried out in this field since 2000 and to determine the trends in sustainable supply chain management by determining bibliometric features. In the study, 977 articles on Sustainable Supply Chain Management in the Web of Science database were examined within the framework of selected criteria and subjected to bibliometric analysis.

SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR TEDARİK ZİNCİRİ YÖNETİMİ ÇALIŞMALARININ BİBLİYOMETRİK ANALİZİ

Abstract

Günümüzde sürdürülebilir politikalar çerçevesinde yürütülen iş süreçleri rekabet avantajı elde edebilme noktasında işletmeler için stratejik bir araç konumuna gelmiştir. Bu bağlamda sürdürülebilirliğin bir işletmenin fonksiyonları için ne kadar önem arz ettiği de karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Sosyal, ekonomik ve çevresel dönüşüm süreçlerinin getirdiği sosyal sorumluluk, çevre bilinci, iklim değişikliği vb. yenilikler sürdürülebilirlik kavramını ön plana çıkaran en önemli etkenler arasında yer almaktadır. Tedarik zinciri yönetiminde de müşteri için değer üretebilmek ve zincirin paydaşları arasında uzun vadeli stratejik ilişkiler kurabilmek adına işletmelerin sürdürülebilir politikalar izlemeleri gerekmektedir. Tedarik zinciri yönetiminde sürdürülebilirlik algısı üzerine kurulan alıcı-tedarikçi ilişkilerinin işletmelerin uzun vadeli strateji planlarının performansını da arttırdığını söylemek mümkündür. Bütün bu durumlar sürdürülebilirlik üzerine yapılan çalışmaların artmasına sebebiyet vermiştir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın temel amacı sürdürülebilir tedarik zinciri yönetiminin teorik çerçevesini ve bu alanda 2000 yılından günümüze yapılan çalışmaları inceleyerek bibliyometrik özelliklerin belirlenmesi yoluyla sürdürülebilir tedarik zinciri yönetimi konusundaki eğilimleri belirlemektir. Çalışmada Web of Science veri tabanında yer alan Sürdürülebilir Tedarik Zinciri Yönetimi konulu 977 makale seçilen kriterler çerçevesinde incelenmiş ve bibliyometrik analize tabi tutulmuştur.
